Peas In Our Pod

out with the old, in with the new

On Saturday, we said goodbye to the old, yellow, yucky laminate countertops.

And hello to our new, beautiful, dark gray concrete countertops.




We are in love.
Now we can move on with the rest of the room.
Still left:
-backsplash (no more yellow laminate anywhere, thank you!)
-cabinet doors
-lay flooring

I think it will be my favorite room when it is finished.

beautiful! That will be so nice! Tell me, what made you go with concrete? I can't decide between concrete, marble, and granite.

i don't know what it is exactly, but i just love the look of concrete. so i am biased, but would definitely recommend it. you should just google concrete countertops and look at some galleries. there are some really cool things you can do. i think we are also going to do our bathroom vanity and our fireplace with it as well.

Wow. Isn't it amazing what a difference those details make? It looks awesome with your white cabinets.

In the words of Melissa Ethridge, I wanna come ova.

oh I love the look too! I have been looking at countertops for months and I still can't really decide although with the style I want I might actually go with marble but I'm not sure. I have been looking at other stone products as well. The concrete does look cool!
